    The Lisle Funnel shown in post #26 works well. If that doesn't fit your budget, elevate the front of the vehicle as high as it will go and idle engine - blip the throttle. If you have no way of elevating the front of the truck, remove radiator cap and fit an old thick sock around radiator fill. You don't stuff the sock into the fill, you fit it around the fill like you were attaching a skull cap. Now idle engine. Once it starts to warm up, blip the throttle a few times, wait a bit and repeat. The sock is to help keep coolant from flying all over the place. I've burped dozens of vehicles using the old sock method.
